for sustainable development. 

The fellowship competition is open to advanced 

doctoral and postdoctoral students, and to midcareer 

professionals engaged in activities to 

facilitate the design, implementation, and 

evaluation of effective interventions that 

promote sustainable development. Stipends last

Description: 


invites applications for its research grants 

within the field of urban and regional studies. 

These promote urban and regional research, 

and within this field particularly encourage an 

understanding of the interconnection between 

social, economic and political processes, and of 

the broader causes and effects of these 

processes. This means that research examining 

policies critically and focusing on their 

unintended as well as intended consequences is 

more likely to be supported than research on 

managerially defined questions. 

Applicants must be within the field of urban 

and regional studies. Grants may be held at any 

university. Only applicants who are nationals 

of countries listed in groups B and C of the 

World Bank classification will be eligible to 

apply. 

Grants are usually worth up to £2,000 each and 

a limited number of higher-value grants may be 

awarded where this is justified.

Canadian Institutes of Health Research 

Description: 

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research 

invites applications for their postdoctoral 

fellowship programme. Fellowships provide 

support for highly qualified candidates at the 

post-PhD or post-health-professional degree 

stages to add to their experience by engaging in 

health research either in Canada or abroad. For 

this competition, applications will be accepted 

in all areas of health research. It is anticipated 

that approximately CA$21 million over five 

years will be available for this competition. 

The maximum amount awarded for a single 

award is CA$60,000 for up to five years. The 

value and duration of each fellowship is related 

to the major degree held, licensure, location of 

tenure and experience of the applicant. The 

research allowance is CA$5,000 per year. 

At the time of application, a candidate must 

hold, or be completing a PhD or a healthprofessional 

degree or equivalent. The healthprofessional 

degree must be in a regulated 

health profession which requires at least a 

bachelor's degree to be eligible for licensure in 

Canada. For individuals that do not hold a 

health-professional degree, awards will take 

effect only after the recipient has completed all 

requirements of the PhD programme, including 

the oral examination. Candidates with more 

than three years of post-PhD research training 

by the competition deadline are not eligible to 

apply for this award. Candidates with a healthprofessional 

degree may propose a programme 

of research leading to a master's or PhD degree; 

however, registration in a graduate degree 

programme is not a requirement. These awards 

are normally held at Canadian institutions, 

however, Canadian citizens and permanent 

residents may apply for awards to be held 

outside Canada. Candidates who are neither 

Canadian citizens nor permanent residents may 

apply for awards to be held in Canada only.

Leverhulme Trust, invites applications for 

phase II of its Africa awards. The scheme aims 

to develop collaborative research projects 

between the UK and research institutions in 

either Ghana or Tanzania, and strengthen the 

research and training capacity of the African 

institution. 

Applications are welcome in all areas of the life 

and physical sciences, including engineering, 

but are particularly encouraged from the 

following five national research priority areas 

in Ghana and Tanzania: 

 

 

 

 

 

agriculture, including animal health; 

water and sanitation; 

basic human health research, including 

medicinal chemistry; 

biodiversity, including medicinal plants 

and green chemistry; 

energy, including biofuels. 

Proposals should include a PhD student, who 

must be based at the host institution in either 

country. Both the UK and Ghanaian or 

Tanzanian project leaders must be of at least 

postdoctoral status or equivalent and have a 

proven track record of training students at 

master’s and doctoral level. The UK scientist 

must be resident in the UK and the Ghanaian or 

Tanzanian scientist resident in Ghana or 

Tanzania. UK scientists must hold a permanent 

or fixed-term contract for the duration of the 

award. 

Both project leaders and their teams must be 

supported by a higher education institution in 

Ghana, Tanzania or the UK. Applications can 

also be accepted from not-for-profit NGOs and 

governmental research institutes in Ghana or 

Tanzania. Scientists in UK governmental 

research institutes may apply, but must explain 

why their institute is not funding the project. 



Existing award holders whose project ends are 

eligible to apply for a continuation.

AYMAN PRIZE FOR PUBLISHED WORK PERTAINING TO TRAUMATISED CHILDREN 

AND ADULTS 

International Psychoanalytical Association 

Description: 

The International Psychoanalytical Association 

invites submissions for the Hayman prize for 

published work pertaining to traumatised 

children and adults. This is presented to the 

author or authors of the best paper on the 

effects of the Holocaust on children who were 

interned in the camps and on those children’s 

children, published or accepted for publication 

in a book or recognised journal in the two years 

preceding the association’s biennial congress. 

The study of the nature and characteristics of 

massive trauma to children, of the influence 

upon their development and functioning, and 

on succeeding generations of their children, 

should be the central theme of the work. As a 

preference, studies should focus on the subject 

population directly related to the Holocaust or 

should apply the understanding derived from 

holocaust studies to the effects of massive 

trauma suffered by children living under 

repressive regimes elsewhere. Submissions may 

be made by IPA members and candidates, as 

well as by non-members. Submissions will be 

accepted in English, French, German or 

Spanish. The prize is worth US$4,000.

RC/DFID AFRICAN RESEARCH LEADER SCHEME 

Medical Research Council 

Description: 

The Medical Research Council and the 

Department for International Development 

invite applications for their African research 

leader scheme. The scheme aims to strengthen 

research leadership and capacity across sub- 

Saharan Africa by attracting and retaining 

researchers of high ability and build on existing 

strong research partnerships between African 

and UK research organisations. 

The scheme is offered to candidates employed 

by African government institutions and wellestablished 

non-profit institutions in sub- 

Saharan Africa, such as universities, medical or 

dental schools, and academic institutes. South 

African institutions are excluded from this call. 

The MRC units in the Gambia and Uganda are 

eligible to apply. Awards are only available to 

African-UK institutional partnerships, and the 

application should be submitted by the UK 

institution. The UK partner institution may be 

any UK institution eligible for MRC funding. 

Researchers from sub-Saharan African 

countries, as well as African researchers 

working overseas who wish to return to the 

region, are eligible under this scheme. The 

candidate should hold an academic position in 

an African research institution, or make 

arrangements to obtain a tenured academic 

position in such an institution. They are 

expected to hold a PhD and have between one 

and five years' relevant postdoctoral research 

experience. The scheme is open to applicants 

working in all biomedical and health research 

areas, and priority will be given to applications 

that address key health problems relevant to 

the region. Applications from women are 

especially encouraged. 

Awards are worth up to £750,000 for a period of 

up to five years. The majority of funding will go 

to the African institution, which will receive 

funding at 100 per cent of full economic costing. 

Any costs specifically for the UK institution will 

be provided on the basis of 80 per cent FEC. 

Awards provide salary for the candidate and 

eligible research costs. The scheme offers the 

African research leader an opportunity to 

spend three months in a UK institution for 

further development and training.
